Bill Frisell - All We Are Saying (2011)
The thing that makes today's release of All We Are Saying feel so connective is guitarist Bill Frisell's willingness to simply let things happen—to accept life as it goes.

Guitarist John Scofield Interviewed at All About Jazz...And More!
Sometimes a recording comes together easily, with a minimum of muss or fuss. Other times, life seems to conspire against it, but that doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't get done, or that it suffers as a result. Sometimes, in fact, it can make the end result even better.
